Publisher's summary

A throwaway assignment is about to change two lives forever.

Aidyn Kelley is talented, ambitious, and ready for a more serious assignment than the fluff pieces she’s been getting as a cub reporter for the Kansas City Star. In her eagerness, she pushes too hard, earning herself the menial task of writing an obituary for an unremarkable woman who’s just entered hospice care.

But there’s more to Clara Kip than meets the eye. The spirited septuagenarian may be dying, but she’s not quite ready to cash it in yet. Never one to shy away from an assignment herself, she can see that God brought the young reporter into her life for a reason. And if it’s a story Aidyn Kelley wants, that’s just what Mrs. Kip will give her—but she’s going to have to work for it.

Heart wrenching and encouraging! A call to more. The ability to die many extraordinary deaths.

Wonderful Story

The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip is beautifully told. I love the way the author strings and weaves together words and imagery. The story itself touched a deep, personal place in my heart. Mrs. Kip is so inspiring! And yet, though she may not grow and change as drastically as her young friend, that growth is still there. Her life, and its thousand deaths, stir in my heart the desire to press on even through the shadow. This is a story I will listen to again and again.

Beautiful and inspiring

One of my favorite books of all time. I so enjoyed reading this book and being inspired by the love of God captured in the story of Mrs. Kip. Truly an inspiration and encouragement.

Real Christian Fiction

What an inspiring author! I love both her books and want more, but this one speaks to me on a different level because of my life experiences. I love that she presents Scripture throughout her books as part of the story, not just a reference. Her books are full of life and lessons. Mrs. Kip led an extraordinary life that needed to be told! It's a wonderful read with humor and heartache, but full of life. I devoured both it and The Divine Proverb of Streusel in two days and want more!

Brings Extraordinary Life to the reader!

So completely inspiring!! I even used one of the quotes and verses to inspire my husband, who was afraid to share his faith at work, and it gave him the courage to do so! Mrs. Kip's ripple is still going and I am part of her story now, glory to Jesus! On top of that, I left my earthly home in Kansas City 7 years ago to do missionary work and miss it so much. It was such a blessing to be taken back there in references to places. Thank you for this gem!!

A little over the top…

An interesting story, but a little too preachy for me. I made myself finish it, but it did seem to drag on for quite a while.

Story packs a punch

I’ve enjoyed getting to know these characters. Mrs. Kip especially. She is the wise grandmother I never had. Thank you for the faith-filled adventure.

Favorite book of the year

Hang in there past the character building to land inside an extraordinary story of someone who lived beautifully even to the end…
